Background: There is a higher prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in people deprived of liberty (PDL) due to incarceration conditions and risk behaviors among inmates. There is little information in Peru related to the main factors associated with acquiring STIs in correctional facilities (CF). The main objective of the study is to evaluate these factors. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study based on a secondary analysis of the 2016 National Penitentiary Census in Peru. The dependent variable was self-report of STIs diagnosed by healthcare personnel after entering the CF. Exposure variables were sociodemographic characteristics and self-report of HIV, depression, anxiety, and addiction. Multilevel Poisson regression, placing the EPs in the first level, was used to obtain crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). The analysis was stratified for men and women. Results: 75207 PPL were included. The prevalence of acquired STIs in CFs was 0.22% for males and 0,63% foe females. In the multivariate analysis for men, there was association with older age (PR 1.03; 1.01-1.06), being homo/bisexual (PR 3,15; 1,08–9,20), prior incarceration (PR 2,05; 1,46-2,89), anxiety self-report (PR 3,30; 1,24-8,74) and HIV (PR 43,6; 19,8-95,9). Higher education (PR 0,14; 0,03-0,59) was associated with less prevalence. Among women, there was association with depression (PR 5,79; 2,28-14,7) and HIV diagnosis (PR 5,06; 1,21-21,1); while higher education (RP 0,15; 0,02-0,92) and being single (RP 0,37; 0,14-0,96) were associated with less prevalence. Conclusions: The prevalence of STIs was lower than reported in other countries. In both men and women, STIs were strongly associated with self-report of anxiety/depression and HIV, while higher education was associated with lower prevalence. Older age, being homo/bisexual, and previous incarceration increased the prevalence of STIs only among men.
